Setting up the operating system

If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by
Gateway, in most cases it is completely installed and the basic settings are
already configured. The Windows Small Business Server operating system may
require additional installation, depending on the version you ordered. See your
operating system’s documentation for instructions on completing the
installation or configuring advanced settings for your specific network.

If you are installing an operating system because it was not already installed by
Gateway, see the appropriate installation guide for instructions.

Initial hardware settings

Your server comes from the manufacturer with the correct initial hardware
settings to operate your server as configured. However, at some point you
might want to change settings to reflect a tasking change, a change in security
requirements, or the addition of new resources to your server.

General hardware settings can be changed by using the BIOS Setup utility. For
information on the BIOS Setup utility, see

“Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on
